TACHOMETER HOURMETER

Figure 9

2.Hour meter (In Tachometer) - This meter shows the number of hours the tractor has been oper- ated at rated engine RPM. The right-most digit (white background) indicates tenths of an hour. Monitor the hour meter to ensure all mainte- nance procedures are completed according to the maintenance schedule. Refer to Figure 9.

3.Coolant Temperature Gauge - Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. Monitor the gauge to allow the engine to warm up when first starting the tractor. Do not operate the tractor under load before the temperature gauge indicates the proper temperature. Monitor the gauge to protect against overheating the engine (the red section on the temperature gauge indicates overheating). See Figure 10.

4.Fuel Gauge - Indicates the volume of fuel in the fuel tank.

5.PTO Indicator - Illuminates when the PTO is engaged.

6.Coolant Level Lamp - Illuminates if the engine coolant level falls below a prescribed level. Stop the tractor and refill the cooling system.

7.Fuel Tank Level Warning Lamp - Illuminates when the fuel level is low.

8.Engine Oil Pressure Warning Lamp - Illuminates when the ignition switch is turned on to assure the light is functioning properly. The light should go off after the engine starts. If the light remains on, stop the engine immediately and inspect for the cause or contact your Cub Cadet dealer.

9.Battery Charge Warning Lamp - Illuminates when the ignition switch is turned on and should go off as the engine starts. If the lamp continues to glow above idle speeds, indicating the battery is being discharged, stop the tractor and have the electri- cal system checked for the cause.

10.Glow Plug Indicator - Lights for approximately 10 seconds after the glow plugs are energized, then turns off to indicate the combustion chambers are preheated. NOTE: Although the lamp turns off, it normally takes approximately 20 seconds for the glow plugs to fully heat a cold engine. The lower the ambient temperatures, the longer the pre- heating time needed.

11.Hydraulic Filter Warning Lamp - Illumination indi- cates a problem with hydraulic oil flow through the filter.

12.High Beam Lamp - Illuminates when the head- light switch is turned to high beam position.

13.Parking Brake Indicator - Illuminates when the parking brake is engaged.

14.Turn Signal Indicators - One of the lamps light in a flashing mode to indicate that turn signal has been activated with the turn signal switch.
